"I went back, but then I came again."
Gongsun Yudie was still clad in black, with a fine steel soft sword wrapped around her waist.
The only difference from the past was that in her right hand, she now held a long sword with a chilling gleam: "I’ve already explained everything about last time to the elders of my sect, so they let me come to redeem myself."
Chen Nan got out of the car.
He gazed at Gongsun Yudie and laughed, "So, your purpose for coming to Ningjiang City this time is still to kill me?"
Gongsun Yudie slowly drew her long sword, the dazzling cold light under the street lamps creating a palpable killing aura: "This is the number one treasure of the Sky Sword Sect—the Heavenly Sword, which can slice through iron like mud and is indestructible. The Sect Leader gave me this sword to help me take your head."
Chen Nan seemed unconcerned and said indifferently, "Are you going to make your move now?"
"Of course, the sooner I kill you, the sooner I can return to report," said Gongsun Yudie as she drew the killing aura-filled Heavenly Sword, pointing it at Chen Nan: "Take out your weapon; let’s fight to the death."
Chen Nan shook his head: "I told you before, I won’t lay a hand on you, nor will I harm a single hair on your head."
Gongsun Yudie pointed her sword at him: "Don’t think that just because you don’t take out a weapon, I will be soft-hearted. Today, there must be an end to the matter between you and me."
Chen Nan shrugged his shoulders, lit a cigarette, and said with a laugh: "Girl, stop fooling around. Even if I stood here and let you kill me, you wouldn’t be able to do it."
"Take out your weapon!"
Gongsun Yudie glared at him, her tone more insistent.
Chen Nan blew out a puff of smoke, patted his chest, and said: "My body is my weapon. If you want to fight me, stab here."
Gongsun Yudie was infuriated, pointing at him without being able to utter a word.
"See, you can’t do it, can you?" Chen Nan shook his head, smiling as he turned to walk back to the car: "Sigh, just stop acting fierce. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Goodbye!"
Gongsun Yudie brandished her sword and shouted: "I’m asking you one last time, are you going to take out a weapon or not?"
Chen Nan shrugged and looked back at her: "You’re not going to kill me."
"Your life is at stake!"
Gongsun Yudie shouted loudly, trembling the long sword in her hand, swiftly stabbing towards Chen Nan’s chest.
Knowing that Chen Nan’s heart was on the right side, she braced herself this time, aiming the sword tip directly at Chen Nan’s right chest. However, Chen Nan greeted her with a smile, neither dodging nor avoiding. He was certain that Gongsun Yudie would not deliver the blow.
The Sword Qi whistled, piercing through the air.
Gongsun Yudie bit her lip and attacked, but in her mind, she kept wondering, is he really unprepared to defend himself? Where did his confidence come from? Is he so certain that I won’t kill him?
As the sword tip came closer and closer to Chen Nan’s chest, Gongsun Yudie really wanted to close her eyes, to plunge the sword down mercilessly, but she was afraid. She feared that when she opened her eyes, Chen Nan would truly be nothing more than a corpse...
I must kill him, I can’t be soft-hearted!
Gongsun Yudie swore to herself, but when the sword tip actually touched Chen Nan, her body uncontrollably stopped.
Subconsciously, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.
The sword tip had barely pressed against Chen Nan’s clothing without even breaking the skin.
Although the man before her was officially her enemy, in Gongsun Yudie’s heart, he was more important than her own sect members.
Chen Nan placed his finger against the blade of the sword, gently pushing the tip aside: "I told you, you can’t do it, but you wouldn’t believe me."
Staring at Chen Nan, Gongsun Yudie had a complicated expression.
She bit down on her silver teeth, conflicted for quite a while before glaring fiercely at Chen Nan: "One day, I will definitely kill you!"
Chen Nan stared at her for a moment before suddenly breaking into a grin: "You’ve fallen for me, haven’t you?"
Gongsun Yudie turned and walked away.
"Hey, you’re just going to let me go without killing me?" Chen Nan called out.
Without looking back, Gongsun Yudie quickened her pace and left.
When Chen Nan arrived home, it was already nine in the evening.
As soon as he entered the hall, Su Qingqing rushed over and grabbed his clothes, took a deep breath, then puffed up her cheeks and said indignantly: "Well done, you fool, you’re covered in the smell of perfume rice. Black Chicken was right; you really are having an affair with her!"
